uh, that sounds very interesting.
Right now, we mainly use OCR from djvu from Internet Archive (that means ABBYY Finereader, which is very nice).

But ideally we could think of a "customizable" OCR software that gets trained language per language: htat would be extremely useful for Wiikisources.

(i can also imagine to divide, inside every language, per centuries, because languages too changes over time ;-)

Hi,

I'm not a techie so I'm not sure to know what is OCR-as-service but you should ask Tpt and Phe who have OCR stuff on the tool labs (to know what is behind tools like http://tools.wmflabs.org/phetools/ocr.php ).

Cdlt, ~nicolas
